READER ADVISORIES
Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements and information (collectively “forward-looking statements”), within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are
forward-looking and not historical facts.
Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs,
plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will
likely result”, “are expected to”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “is targeting”, “estimated”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “forecast”, “guidance”,
“could”, “may”, “would”, “aim”, “vision”, “goals”, “objective”, “target”, “schedules” and “outlook”). In particular, forward-looking statements in
this document include, but are not limited to, references to: the Company’s general strategic plans and growth strategies; anticipated
increase to carbon related payments; potential financial impacts and time horizons of identified risks; potential climate-related opportunities
and their corresponding likelihood, time horizon, magnitude of impact, potential financial impact and the costs and strategies to realize the
opportunities; methane reduction target and associated timeline; number of emissions reduction initiatives at various stages of development
and their estimated annual CO2e savings; and anticipated investment in an hydrogen diluent reduction pilot project during 2018.
In addition, statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment based
on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. There are numerous
uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary from reserve and production estimates.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected by the forward-looking statements presented in this document are
reasonable, the Company’s forward-looking statements have been based on assumptions and factors concerning future events that may
Page 5
prove to be inaccurate. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to the Company about itself and the
businesses in which it operates. Information used in developing forward-looking statements has been acquired from various sources,
including third party consultants, suppliers and regulators, among others.
Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions,
inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur.
Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to the
Company.
The Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2017 and other documents filed with securities regulatory
authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com and the EDGAR website www.sec.gov) describe risks, material
assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and are incorporated herein by reference.
New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the
impact of each such factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-
looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent upon other factors, and the Company's course of action
would depend upon management’s assessment of the future considering all information available to it at the relevant time. Any forward-
looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by applicable securities laws, the
Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such
statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Information
Unless otherwise indicated: (i) reserves estimates in this document have been prepared by internal qualified reserves evaluators in
accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook, have an effective date of December 31 in the years indicated and
represent the Company's working interest share before royalties; (ii) projected and historical production volumes provided represent the
Company’s working interest share before royalties; and (iii) historical production volumes provided are for the year ended December 31,
2017.
The Company uses the term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”), which is consistent with other oil and gas companies’ disclosures, and is
calculated on an energy equivalence basis applicable at the burner tip whereby one barrel of crude oil is equivalent to six thousand cubic
feet of natural gas. The term boe is used to express the sum of the total company products in one unit that can be used for comparisons.
Readers are cautioned that the term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. This measure is used for consistency with
other oil and gas companies and does not represent value equivalency at the wellhead.

(C2.2b) Provide further details on your organization’s process(es) for identifying and assessing climate-related risks.
Husky uses a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) management framework to identify and respond to climate-related risks and
opportunities. A cornerstone of the framework is the Carbon Management Critical Competency Network (CMCC), across departmental
group that convenes representatives from across Husky’s business units to share knowledge and develop guidance on carbon and climate
issues.
Process scope:
Husky’s GHG management framework manages reporting, regulatory compliance, emission forecasting and emission reduction strategies.
It includes:
- An emission management system
- Inventories and quantification
- Reporting and verification
- Forecasting
- Reduction and compliance strategies
- Regulatory advocacy and policy development
- Financial impact assessment
- Corporate governance
The CMCC also provides corporate guidance and recommendations around the growing financial risks and value of carbon, and
contributes information to the Executive Health, Safety and Environment Committee on a regular basis. This information is also
incorporated into Husky’s enterprise risk matrix, where climate-related risks are assessed alongside other critical risks to the Company.
Risks deemed to have substantive financial impact to the company (greater than $10,000,000) are highlighted for additional scrutiny.
Page 13
The Carbon Management Regulatory Monitoring Committee monitors emerging regulations related to carbon, including carbon pricing,
methane regulations, and clean fuel standards. The purpose of the group is to understand the cumulative impact of these emerging
regulations, and to coordinate Husky’s advocacy strategy to promote an outcome that achieves government objectives.
(C2.2c) Which of the following risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments?
Risk type Relevance & inclusion Please explain
Current
regulation
Relevant, always
included
Husky’s GHG management framework includes an Environmental Performance Reporting System
(EPRS) for inventory, quantification, reporting and verification of GHG emissions. The Corporate
Responsibility business unit with the Carbon Management Critical Competency Network and the Carbon
Management Regulatory Monitoring Committee use the outputs of EPRS to quantify and manage
exposure to current regulatory risk. Husky has also included carbon pricing in its long-range planning and
2018 budgeting processes. For example, Husky’s Sunrise and Tucker thermal facilities used current
Alberta carbon pricing of $30/tonne to forecast compliance obligations in 2018.
Emerging
regulation
Relevant, always
included
Husky’s GHG management framework includes an Environmental Performance Reporting System
(EPRS) for inventory, quantification, reporting and verification of GHG emissions. The Corporate
Responsibility business unit with the Carbon Management Critical Competency Network and the Carbon
Management Regulatory Monitoring Committee use the outputs of EPRS alongside of jurisdiction-specific
models to quantify, forecast and manage exposure to risks associated with emerging regulation from the
governments of Canada and the U.S. as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, B.C.,
Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Ohio and Wisconsin. For example, Husky has evaluated the
impact of the Government of Canada’s proposed backstop carbon pricing on its Canadian operations due
to the possibility that provincial equivalency may not be achieved in some jurisdictions where Husky
operates emissions-intensive facilities.
By estimating its current and projected future emissions and understanding forthcoming regulations that
may impact its business, the Company determines the areas of its operations that may face future

Risk type Relevance & inclusion Please explain
compliance obligations or additional costs from regulation. Husky's enterprise risk management program
supports decision making via comprehensive and systematic identification and assessment of risks that
could materially impact the results of the Company. It builds risk management and mitigation into
strategic planning and operational processes for its business units. Husky has developed an enterprise
risk matrix to identify risks to its people, the environment, its assets and its reputation, and to
systematically mitigate these risks to an acceptable level.
Technology Relevant, always
included
Husky’s GHG Management Framework includes a process for climate-related technology assessment,
including not only new innovations that can reduce the Company’s emissions intensity, but also
innovations that could disrupt Husky’s business strategy. As new technologies are identified by subject
matter experts across the Company, they are shared through the Carbon Management Critical
Competency Network (CMCC) and as appropriate, are incorporated into regular updates to the Executive
Health, Safety and Environment Committee and business unit leadership.
Examples of risk from technological innovation that have been reviewed by the CMCC are the
accelerating development of renewable energy infrastructure and electrification of the transportation
sector. As part of its risk assessment process Husky reviewed commonly accepted forecasts of growth in
these sectors to determine the impact to its short, medium and long-term strategy. Husky employed a
Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) tool as part of a process to review technologies that might
qualify for external funding and enhance business cases for technology risk mitigation.
Legal Relevant, always
included
Husky’s Carbon Management Critical Competency Network (CMCC) includes representation from
Husky’s Legal business unit, which monitors developments in climate-related litigation that could impact
Husky’s business. As potential risks are identified, Husky evaluates its exposure to similar risks, and
adjusts corporate policies, strategies and/or practices as deemed appropriate. For example, Husky
reviewed U.S. litigation against energy companies related to their public disclosure of climate-related risk,
and as a result increased scrutiny of its public disclosure of climate-related risk and modified the
disclosure accordingly.
Page 15
Risk type Relevance & inclusion Please explain
Market Relevant, always
included
Husky’s Carbon Management Critical Competency Network (CMCC) includes representation from
Upstream and Downstream business units, as well as service groups including Environment, Legal,
Sustainability, Finance, Government Relations and Information Services. As climate-related risks
associated with shifts in supply and demand for commodities are identified, they are evaluated and
incorporated into regular reports to the Executive Health, Safety and Environment Committee and
business unit leadership. For example, changes in lower-carbon and clean fuels regulations across
Canada have the potential to change the market for Husky’s fuel products sold in its 558 (2017 year end)
retail locations in North America. CMCC has supported Husky’s assessment of these market risks and
ensured that knowledge has been mobilized across the organization.
Reputation Relevant, always
included
Husky’s Carbon Management Critical Competency Network (CMCC) includes representation from
Husky’s Corporate Affairs business unit, which manages the Husky brand and reputation. Climate-related
impacts to reputation, resulting from changing consumer or community perceptions of Husky, or the
broader Canadian energy system context, are evaluated and strategies are developed and incorporated
into regular reports to the Executive Health, Safety and Environment Committee and business unit
leadership.
In 2017 the CMCC developed a formal communication plan to ensure messages regarding carbon risks
and opportunities were consistent, and to promote those messages both internally and externally across
multiple media, including web, intranet, industry associations and direct engagement with regulators.
Acute
physical
Relevant, always
included
Event-driven, acute physical climate-related risks are identified as part of the hazardous operations
planning process used by Husky. For example, Husky facilities such as well sites, pipeline infrastructure
or retail stations, which are exposed to flood risk incorporate mitigation measures as part of the design
and engineering process, as well as response measures, into their emergency response plans.
Page 16
Risk type Relevance & inclusion Please explain
Chronic
physical
Relevant, always
included
Climate-related risks from longer-term shifts in climate patterns are incorporated into operational risk
assessments that influence production and facilities planning processes. For example, Husky employs a
water risk assessment process that highlights exposure to drought-related risk for facilities that require
access to fresh-water supply for production operations. This risk assessment process has been
incorporated into facility planning for thermal facilities relying on water from the North Saskatchewan
River basin.
Upstream Relevant, always
included
As part of its regulatory risk assessment process, Husky identifies risks that may have a disproportionate
impact on its suppliers, and works with vendors to develop mitigation measures. For example, many of
the Company’s suppliers have been impacted by the Alberta carbon levy system. Husky has worked with
its suppliers to ensure that a fair flow through of costs related to the levy are incorporated into its
agreements.
Downstream Relevant, always
included
Regulatory, political and social barriers to pipeline projects in Canada are impacting the ability of many
producers to access world commodity pricing for oil and natural gas products. These risks are
incorporated into Husky’s economic planning for future investment decisions through pricing
assumptions, forecasted apportionment availability, toll impacts and other relevant factors. Assessments
of these risks as they relate to climate issues are coordinated through the Carbon Management Critical
Competency Network and Carbon Management Regulatory Monitoring Committee as deemed relevant.
(C2.2d) Describe your process(es) for managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Husky uses a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) management framework to identify and respond to climate change risks and
opportunities. The Carbon Management Critical Competency Network (CMCC) is a cornerstone of this framework and convenes
representatives from across Husky to share knowledge and develop guidance on carbon and climate issues.
Page 17
Process scope:
Husky’s GHG management framework manages reporting, regulatory compliance, emission forecasting and emission reduction strategies.
It includes:
- An emission management system
- Inventories and quantification
- Reporting and verification
- Forecasting
- Reduction strategies
- Regulatory advocacy and policy development
- Financial impact assessment
- Corporate Governance
The CMCC also provides corporate guidance and recommendations around the growing financial risks and value of carbon.
Risk Management Process:
By estimating its current and projected future emissions and understanding forthcoming regulations that may impact its business, the
Company determines the areas of its operations that may face future compliance obligations or additional costs from regulation. Husky's
enterprise risk management program supports decision-making via comprehensive and systematic identification and assessment of risks
that could materially impact the results of the Company. It builds risk management and mitigation into strategic planning and operational
processes for its business units through the adoption of standards and best practices. Husky has developed an enterprise risk matrix to
identify risks to its people, the environment, its assets and its reputation, and to systematically mitigate these risks to an acceptable level.
Husky applies its GHG management framework through the lifecycle of projects and uses general hazard assessment procedures to
evaluate opportunities and risks at an asset level. The results of assessments are then incorporated into other asset planning processes.
Example:
Recent changes to Alberta climate policy include the implementation of the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR) as a
replacement for the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) for facilities with large GHG emissions in the province. To fully understand
the impacts of the new regulations, Husky employed the tools of its GHG Management Framework described above to quantify and assess
Page 18
the impacts, based on current and forecast emission profiles for regulated facilities. Through this process, a new compliance strategy for
each facility was developed.
Opportunity Management Process:
In 2017, Husky developed a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC), which catalogues opportunities to use technology to reduce
emissions from operations. It compares these opportunities in terms of relative economic performance and size of reductions achievable.
The MACC facilitates knowledge transfer about these technologies amongst business units and the promotion of these technologies both
internally (e.g. executive teams) and externally.
Example:
Husky’s Corporate Water Standard mandates water risk assessments for all our operations, and the development of management plans.
As part of this process Husky evaluates risks, including availability, reliability, and the potential for extreme weather events, and develops
mitigation plans to minimize those risks. This process incorporates climate-related impacts on water risk. When evaluating water source
options for our Sunrise project, this process led to the selection of process-affected water from an adjacent company’s tailing ponds as the
primary source, reducing exposure to declining availability of other water sources and reducing potential capital and operating expenses
relating to other, more remote or less stable water sources.
Husky quantifies risks and opportunities and determines materiality based on standard economic models integrated with other aspects of
an asset or business. Prioritization is determined based on quantified impact assessment. Impact categories considered include Health and
Safety, Financial, Reputation, and Environmental.

Risk Description: Husky is exposed to developing climate change regulations in British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, federally in Canada and the U.S., and in Asia. To
complement the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change launched in December
2016, the federal government published a Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) Regulatory Framework in
December 2017 that aims to eliminate 30 million metric tonnes of GHG emissions by 2030 through 10-
15% reductions in fuel carbon intensities. CFS consultations are ongoing. The Canadian Federal Carbon
Pricing Backstop continued to develop in 2017. The backstop will apply to jurisdictions that do not have
carbon pricing systems that align to the federal benchmark. It is composed of a carbon levy applied to
fossil fuels and an output-based pricing system for industrial facilities that emit above 50,000 tonnes of
CO2e per year. The Canadian government will implement the backstop in whole or in part on January 1,
2019, whereas the equivalency assessment of provincial carbon pricing systems with the federal system
will be completed by the end of 2018. In October 2017, the Manitoba government set out a static carbon
price of $25 per tonne beginning in 2018. An output-based pricing system of performance standards,
offsets and credit trading will apply to large industrial emitters. In December 2017, the B.C. government
announced consultations regarding the feasibility of its carbon intensity targets, including the potential for
a 15-20% total reduction in carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 2030. The Alberta government’s
Carbon Competitiveness Incentives Regulation (CCIR) came into force on January 1, 2018 and replaced
the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. The CCIR regulates large carbon emitters, including Husky’s
Sunrise and Tucker facilities, via an output-based allocation system. Also in December 2017, the
Saskatchewan government released its plan to develop and implement sector-specific output-based
performance standards on facilities emitting more than 25,000 tonnes of CO2e per year. Consultations
with stakeholders have been ongoing throughout 2018. In 2017, Husky paid carbon fees related to its
operations in Ontario, B.C. and Alberta.

Risk Description: Where Husky has operations in flood prone areas, extreme weather events can expose
the Company to increased risk of disruption to operations. Risk Effects: Flooding and extreme weather
has the potential to disrupt operations in the field as well as at Husky’s head office in Calgary. In June
2013, Calgary experienced a flood event that prevented access to the entire downtown core, including
Husky’s head office, for a week. In May of 2016, Husky shut down the Sunrise facility due to wildfires. The
project was restarted in June. At the time, Sunrise was producing about 30,000 barrels per day of
bitumen. Sunrise is 50% owned by JV partners, amounting to an approximate production loss net to
Husky of 15,000 barrels per day.

Husky’s Atlantic region business unit has a robust
ice management program that uses a range of
resources, including advanced detection,
monitoring and management. Ice monitoring is
facilitated through fixed-wing flight reconnaissance,
satellite imagery processing and offshore supply
vessel reconnaissance. Monitoring data is
processed in georeferenced format and drift is
predicted using established software developed by
the National Research Council and the Canadian
Ice Service. Supply vessels deflect icebergs
through towing by rope or ice net, or pushing by
water pressure through a high-velocity water jet
nozzle or propeller wash. Husky works
independently of, and jointly with, other oil and gas
operators through a common ice management
contractor. During ice season, Husky owned,

Opportunity Description: Husky may have an opportunity to provide low-carbon fuels to meet new
market demand. Certain markets are assigning premium value to low-carbon transportation fuels and
coal is being phased out and replaced by natural gas as the fuel of choice for power generation. Husky
is well positioned to benefit from these trends in consumer behaviour as it has growth opportunities in
natural gas production and ethanol-blended gasoline. The Company’s Lloydminster Ethanol Plant
currently provides low carbon intensity ethanol to the B.C. market to support blending requirements to
meet the province’s Renewable and Low Carbon Fuels Requirements Regulation. Husky is also
considering options for CO2 capture and storage at its Minnedosa Ethanol Plant in Manitoba.
Opportunity Effects: Increased consumer demand for low-carbon transportation fuels and natural gas

calculated by aggregating total Ontario cap and trade credits purchased for fuel
imports, Alberta carbon levy and Specified Gas Emitters Regulation payments that
are not passed on to customers and B.C. carbon fees for the Sikanni Gas Plant and
Prince George Refinery. The Company’s current financial exposure to fees
associated with carbon emissions is approximately 0.05% of Husky’s 2017 gross
revenue before royalties and marketing and other income, and 3% of total Canadian
energy input costs. The Company expects payments to increase with pending
changes to GHG regulations in various jurisdictions, however there is some
uncertainty as to the degree and pace at which increases will be incurred.

In making investment decisions, Husky considers both the cost and value of
carbon. Project carbon costs are modelled based on current and emerging
policies in any given jurisdiction. Regulatory focus on methane venting
management in heavy oil operations has in part led to non-substantive
investment in gas conservation infrastructure. In 2017, Husky invested
approximately $1,500,000 in gas compression to capture otherwise vented
gases at heavy oil well sites, resulting in an estimated annual savings of greater
than $3,100,000.
Acquisitions and
divestments
Impacted for some suppliers,
facilities, or product lines
Husky recently completed a disposition program of legacy assets in Western
Canada. Part of the process used to evaluate candidate assets for sale was
exposure to regulatory risk. This program had a substantive impact on Husky’s
balance sheet. Altogether, approximately 52,000 boe/day of legacy assets have
been sold since late 2015.
Access to capital Impacted for some suppliers,
facilities, or product lines
Investments in low emission technology and energy efficiency often require
additional policy incentives including R&D support funding provided by provincial
and federal agencies to meet Husky’s internal capital allocation criteria. Husky’s
HDR diluent reduction technology has been awarded substantive financial
support through federal R&D funding programs.

i) Description of Internal Process for strategic GHG management:
Husky uses a GHG management framework to guide the process of integrating climate change into its business strategy. Elements of the GHG management framework that inform corporate business strategy include:
a. GHG Inventory and Quantification – Internal processes have been developed to collect and validate data for each Company business unit. Calculation methodologies follow federal, provincial and/or state guidelines for quantifying and reporting emissions using Husky’s Environmental Performance Reporting System (EPRS). The Corporate Responsibility business unit (“Corporate Responsibility”) communicates information requests and calculation results to business units annually.
b. GHG Reporting and Verification – Facilities with regulatory reporting and compliance obligations require more detailed communications plans. Corporate Responsibility, along with third-party verifiers as required, develop schedules for meetings, site visits and data validation requests. Results of third-party verification exercises are shared with the facilities to ensure continued awareness of data quality and to streamline reporting processes. Internal Audits are used to ensure completeness and accuracy of the GHG estimation and reporting systems. Facility managers approve GHG reports prior to their submission to regulatory agencies.
c. Emissions Reduction Strategy – Facilities with established emission reduction targets (Tucker and Sunrise) are evaluated in conjunction with annual reporting. Opportunities for reductions are proposed and evaluated for feasibility. Any efficiency projects implemented during the previous year are evaluated for effectiveness. Emission forecasts based on projected production provide economic support that may be used to influence future facility design specifications or justify funding for projects to reduce emissions.
Page 36
d. Regulatory Policy System – Corporate Responsibility is actively involved in organizations such as the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), Canadian Fuels Association (CFA), Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), IPIECA and Petroleum Technology Alliance of Canada (PTAC) to collaborate with industry peers to address issues related to climate change. Issues affecting Husky’s business units are communicated through appropriate means.
ii) Examples and description of aspects of climate change that influence business strategy:
During times of policy change, additional resources are strategically allocated as needed to proactively address regulatory compliance and uncertainty.
As part of its efforts to address regulatory change and stakeholder expectations in relation to climate change, Husky strives to reduce facility emissions through improving energy efficiency, minimizing fugitive emissions and mitigating flaring and venting. Emission reduction and energy efficiency opportunities are evaluated at the facility level. These projects enable Husky to manage emissions reduction obligations and aid in meeting facility intensity targets at its Tucker and Sunrise thermal facilities. Husky pursues offsets as a means to reduce emissions at facilities where GHG reductions are not regulated.
Husky evaluates various ways to reduce the carbon intensity of its Upstream and Downstream operations. The Company uses a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) to catalogue options, including the size of emissions reduction possible, as well economic performance. This provides for resource priortization and reductions at the most efficient cost per-tonne of CO2e. The MACC also helps different areas of the Company share information about emission reduction options.
iii) Example of the most substantial business decision made related to climate change:
The most substantial business decision that Husky has made related to climate change continues to be investment in its CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery program, driven in part by climate-related regulatory changes. Husky’s CO2 EOR program utilizes CO2 emissions captured at the Lloydminster Ethanol Plant, and the Pikes Peak South (formerly Lashburn) thermal project. This program lowers emissions intensity in the Company’s heavy oil business through carbon capture, while enhancing oil production, and creates opportunities for marketing lower carbon intensity products.

Page 44
fuels renewable alternatives to gasoline (ethanol) and
renewable alternatives to diesel
(Hydrogenation-Derived Renewable Diesel
[HDRD] and biodiesel) into gasoline and diesel,
respectively. Where possible, Husky blends up
to 10% ethanol into all grades of gasoline. In
2017, this equated to an average 9.6% ethanol
blend, which exceeded federal and provincial
requirements at the point of blending (Canada
Federal - 5%, BC - 5%, AB - 5%, SK - 7.5%,
MB - 8.5%, ON - 5%). In 2017 the blending of
ethanol into gasoline resulted in a reduction of
73,138 metric tonnes of CO2 relative to the
2007 baseline. (2007 is the Government of
Canada baseline year that takes into account all
industry emissions and the fuel offering of that
year; it is integrated into the GHG model
assumptions.) The most up-to-date version of
National Resources Canada's (NRCan)
GHGenius model was used to calculate the
carbon intensities of Husky's fuel blends. The
B.C. Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel
Requirements Regulation's Emissions
Calculation was used to determine emissions
reductions. Emissions Reduction (tonnes) = (CI
class x EER fuel - CI fuel) x EC fuel / 1,000,000,
where CI class = the prescribed carbon intensity
limit for the compliance period for the class of
fuel of which the fuel is a part; EER fuel = the
prescribed energy effectiveness ratio for that
fuel in that class of fuel; CI fuel = the carbon
intensity of the fuel (via GHGenius); EC fuel =
the energy content of the fuel calculated in
accordance with the regulations. Husky is not

considering generating Certified Emission
Reductions (CERs) or Emission Reduction
Units (ERUs) within the framework of Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) or Joint
Implementation (JI) of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) at this time.
For biodiesel and HDRD, the 2017 blend
resulted in an average of 2.8% renewables for
our Canadian supply of diesel to the market.
In 2017, the blending of biodiesel and HDRD
resulted in a reduction of 63,144 metric tonnes
of CO2 relative to the 2007 baseline.
Total emissions avoided through biofuel
blending amounted to 136,281 metric tonnes of
CO2 in 2017.
Methane reduction efforts
(C-OG4.6) Describe your organization’s efforts to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas production activities.
Husky continues engagement with regulators in order to contribute to the development of voluntary and mandatory methane emission
reduction programs to meet federal and provincial targets.
Husky has worked towards reducing methane emissions as per the following items.
- Increased understanding and focus on gas production (calculated via GOR) and the implications on emissions.
- Increased understanding and focus on gas management strategies.
- Developing new ways to reduce vent besides conventional conservation (pipeline and compressor).
Page 46
- Added enclosed combustors as gas management reduction tool. No significant impact to date, but step-change reductions are
anticipated once regulators simplify reduced spacing process.
- Developing processes and tools to help focus on proactive/leading indicators to resolve potential vent issues before they become a
regulatory concern.
In 2017, Husky installed compressors at heavy oil well sites that will capture otherwise vented produced gas, generating an estimated
savings of more than 627,000 tonnes CO2e.
Leak detection and repair
(C-OG4.7) Does your organization conduct leak detection and repair (LDAR) or use other methods to find and fix fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas production activities?
Yes
(C-OG4.7a) Describe the protocol through which methane leak detection and repair or other leak detection methods, are conducted for oil and gas production activities, including predominant frequency of inspections, estimates of assets covered, and methodologies employed.
Husky meets or exceeds regulatory compliance requirements for monitoring and reporting to effectively address risk. Prescriptive programs
are in place at Company facilities for leak detection and repair of fugitive emission sources. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia
regulations prioritize targeted facilities that are generally defined by licence type, size, throughput, or qualitative observations. Monitoring
frequencies are generally flexible and variable with an annual baseline frequency. Methodologies used included infrared cameras, hand
held gas detectors, soapy water investigations on point sources, toxic/organic vapour analyzers, photo ionization detector, ultrasound
probe, or third-party evaluation or other justifiable and defendable methods.
For example, Husky’s LDAR program at its Canadian Downstream facilities includes the survey of the natural gas and refinery fuel gas
lines to identify leaking equipment components, repair the leaks, re-monitor the repaired leak sources, and quantify and report fugitive
methane emissions from equipment leaks. Husky conducts semi-annual LDAR surveys of Its Lloydminster thermal assets. These surveys
utilize infrared and ultrasonic detection to identify leaks in real time. Maintenance personnel accompany leak detection staff to perform
repairs as leaks are discovered, wherever possible.
Page 47
Flaring reduction efforts
(C-OG4.8) If flaring is relevant to your oil and gas production activities, describe your organization’s efforts to reduce flaring, including any flaring reduction targets.
Regulations in Alberta and Saskatchewan mandate both operational and economic evaluations that prioritize collection and conservation of
produced gas over flaring. In addition, Husky engages in voluntary and collaborative efforts with government and industry organizations to
reduce flaring through application of technology and sharing of knowledge and experience. Husky is also piloting closed combustors as an
alternative to flaring, providing for a more controlled combustion of waste gases where gas conservation is not a viable solution. In Husky’s
Atlantic region business unit, Husky proposes targets for flaring volumes with the regulator and is then required to stay within those limits.
These targets are approved for the period beginning April 1 and ending March 31 of the following year. For 2016-2017, the approved flare
limit was 63.46 million m3 and Husky flared approximately 57.3 million m3, staying 9.7% below the target.

628,000 Decreased 4.7%
In 2017 Husky installed compressors at heavy oil well sites
that capture otherwise vented produced gas. The Company
estimates anticipated savings of 628,000 tonnes of CO2e
per year as a result of this project. Husky’s total combined
S1 and S2 emissions in 2016 were 13,370,000 tonnes
CO2e. Thus 628,000 / 13,370,000 * 100 = 4.7%.
Divestment 848,000 Decreased 6.3%
In 2017 Husky divested a significant portion of its Western
Canadian conventional assets, including the Ram River gas
plant. This resulted in a 848,000 tCO2e decline in the
Company’s emissions from conventional and gas assets.
Husky’s total combined S1 and S2 emissions in 2016 were
13,370,000 tonnes CO2e. Thus 848,000 / 13,370,000 * 100
= 6.3%.
Acquisitions 520,000 Increased 3.9%
In November 2017 Husky acquired the Superior Refinery.
This resulted in a 520,000 tCO2e increase in the
Company’s Scope 1 emissions from its U.S. refining assets.
Due to the timing of the acquisition, Husky does not have
2017 Scope 2 emissions estimates for the Superior Refinery
at the time of this disclosure. Husky’s total combined S1 and

S2 emissions in 2016 were 13,370,000 tonnes CO2e. Thus
520,000 / 13,370,000 * 100 = 3.9%.
Change in
output 1,014,000 Increased 7.6%
Increased production at the Company’s thermal facilities
(Sunrise, Tucker, Edam East and Edam West, Rush Lake,
Vawn) accounted for an increase of over 832,000 tonnes
CO2e in 2017. Further increases in throughput at the Lima
Refinery accounted for an additional increase of 382,000
tonnes CO2e in 2017.These increases were partially offset
by reductions due to decreased throughput at the
Lloydminster Upgrader due to a major turnaround in 2017,
as well as natural declines in conventional oil production.
The net change was approximately 1.01 million tonne
increase in CO2e. Husky’s total combined S1 and S2
emissions in 2016 were 13,370,000 tonnes CO2e. Thus
1,014,000 / 13,370,000 * 100 = 7.6%.

Oil and gas reserves methodology
Page 89
(C-OG9.2b) Explain which listing requirements or other methodologies you use to report reserves data. If your organization cannot provide data due to legal restrictions on reporting reserves figures in certain countries, please explain this.
Husky's oil and gas reserves are estimated in accordance with the standards contained in the COGEH, and the reserves data disclosed
conforms with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (“NI 51-101”). All of
Husky's oil and gas reserves are prepared by internal reserves evaluation staff using a formalized process for determining, approving and
booking reserves. This process requires all reserves evaluations to be done on a consistent basis using established definitions and
guidelines. Approval of individually significant reserves changes requires review by an internal panel of expert geoscientists and qualified
reserves evaluators. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has examined Husky's procedures for assembling and reporting
reserves data and other information associated with oil and gas activities and has reviewed that information with management. The Board
of Directors has approved, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the content of Husky's disclosure of its reserves data and other
oil and gas information. The reserves in C-OG9.2 are Husky’s gross reserves, which are the working interest share of reserves before
deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests.

(C12.1c) Give details of your climate-related engagement strategy with other partners in the value chain.
Husky engages with its JV partners on large projects through JV committees that discuss numerous issues, including GHG emissions.
Specifically, Husky and BP collaborate on GHG issues related to BP-Husky Refining LLC and the Sunrise Energy Project with the aim of
achieving compliance strategy consensus. Husky prioritizes GHG engagement with value chain partners where there is a major risk posed
by exposure to climate-related issues such as regulatory changes. Success is measured through financial indicators, including performance
against carbon-related fee targets for facilities that fall under a regulatory scheme that includes a compliance cost for carbon emissions.

Consistent CAPP’s climate change policy principles as shown at
http://www.capp.ca/responsible-development/air-and-climate/climate-
change CAPP’s climate change policy principles are 1. Collaborative
and Solutions-oriented (e.g. Given Canada’s climate commitments and
industry impacts, CAPP will proactively collaborate with governments
and stakeholders towards appropriate policy solutions.) 2. Efficient,
effective and predictable (e.g. Climate policy should target reductions
where they are most efficient and effective right across the entire
energy value chain from production to end use and considering fairly
all sectors and jurisdictions.) 3. Technology and innovation focused
(e.g. Policy should incent technology and innovation to address climate
change, and capture the opportunity to export solutions to the world.)
4. Globally competitive (e.g. Canada’s climate policies must ensure our
resource development is cost and carbon competitive with other
jurisdictions, especially the U.S. as our largest trading partner.)
Husky participates in
working groups within
CAPP to inform the
industry association’s
position relative to climate
change policy in Canada.

Association (CFA)
Consistent CFA’s policy position is presented at

Climate Change / GHG Emission Reduction To address the risks of
climate change, reducing GHG emissions has become an important
global issue. Under the auspices of the Paris Agreement, virtually
every country has committed to reduce their GHG emissions. For
Canada, our collective efforts to achieve a sustainable, lower carbon
future must be founded on three key actions: • Explore, define and
evaluate GHG emission-reduction pathways in collaboration with all
stakeholders before targets are set. • Recognize Canada’s productivity
and competitiveness as core considerations in the development and
implementation of a national GHG-reduction strategy. • Ensure that
sound evidence and cost-benefit analyses drive decision-making and
are transparently shared with citizens. Climate policy has far reaching
implications for citizens, business and society in general. Canadian
Husky participates in
working groups within
CFA to inform the industry
association’s position
relative to climate change
policy in Canada.
Page 112
Fuels Association and its members support policy approaches that
minimize the overall cost to society of reducing climate risks. Broad-
based carbon pricing mechanisms that are transparent, uniform and
predictable are useful tools to send clear price signals across the
economy that can effectively and efficiently reduce Canada’s carbon
footprint.
(C12.3d) Do you publicly disclose a list of all research organizations that you fund?
Yes
(C12.3f) What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with your overall climate change strategy?
Key individuals in the business units and supporting service groups collaborate to align Husky’s position through the Carbon Management
Regulatory Monitoring Committee. The Company’s climate change strategy is clearly communicated to policy makers either directly or
through participation in industry association working groups within the jurisdictions where the Company operates. In 2017, Husky continued
to support consistency in policy advocacy through the Company’s Carbon Management Critical Competency Network, Carbon
Management Regulatory Monitoring Committee and activity within the GHG management framework. Husky’s Government Relations
department works with the Carbon Management Critical Competency Network and Company representatives involved in policy
engagement to ensure that policy advocacy activities are aligned.

About CDP
CDP is an international non-profit that drives companies and governments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water
resources and protect forests.

Over 6,300 companies with some 55% of global market capitalization disclosed environmental data through CDP in 2017. This is in
addition to the over 500 cities and 100 states and regions who disclosed, making CDP’s platform one of the richest sources of information
globally on how companies and governments are driving environmental change. CDP, formerly Carbon Disclosure Project, is a founding
